Scatter plot of miRNAs degree distribution in the miRNA-mRNA network. Y-axis represents miRNA degree, and x-axis is all miRNAs in the miRNA-mRNA network. Red and blue dots represent age-related miRNAs and non age-related miRNAs, respectively. Age-related miRNAs had higher degrees than non age-related miRNAs, which indicated that age-related miRNAs (e.g. hsa-mir-130a, has-mir-330-3p and hsa-mir-29a) regulated much more mRNAs than non age-related miRNAs in the miRNA-mRNA network.
